Wallace’s comments made news, but they were just a small part of a Finals. The Knicks beat the Spurs 94-90 in Game 5, clinching the first title in the franchise’s 53-year history, and the city of New York erupted with big celebrations.

As the dust settles on the Knicks’ historic championship run, Wallace’s viral warning serves as another reminder of how intense the Knicks-Spurs Finals rivalry became. Whether fans view him as a villain, entertainer, or devoted supporter, “Final Boss” Thee Wallace has undoubtedly become one of the most memorable fan figures of the 2026 NBA Finals.
